Time Team Dig – Leven, Fife  – Bronze age cemetery

The excavations revealed a previously unrecorded Early Bronze Age cemetery (c. 4,000 years old) enclosed within a ditch. The cemetery contained 11 cist burials (stone graves) and at least one unaccompanied cremation burial of possible Neolithic date (c.5,000 years old).

The acidity of the soil resulted in poor preservation of human skeletal material, however, significant partial skeletal collections were still recovered.
